Method

Heat the olive oil, add the rice. Mix well to coat for 30 seconds and cover with boiling water. Stir once, put a lid on the pan and cook for 10 minutes on medium. Separate the cooked grains with a fork and leave to cool.

To make the paste, crush all the ingredients in a pestle and mortar until nearly smooth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Whisk the eggs and pour them into the pan. Cook gently until set. Remove and allow to cool. Roll up the cooled omelette into a cigar shape and finely into 1 cm (1/2in) ribbons. Set aside.

In the same pan, heat the remaining vegetable oil and fry the sliced shallots until golden. Remove and drain on kitchen towel, season with a pinch of salt while they are still warm.

Heat the olive oil in a large wok, add the paste and stir fry quickly. Add the leek, peppers, carrot and pak choi and stir fry, keeping everything on the move. Add the sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce and fry for 30 seconds more. Add the rice and mix well. When everything is piping hot, serve immediately topped with fried onion, spring onion, egg and lime.
